Volleyball

perform the motor skills we were implementing. One of the main reasons as to why my motivation transitioned to wanting the children to succeed is due to my coaching experience in volleyball. Teaching the children the manipulative motor skills reminded me of when I would have to teach manipulative motor skills used in volleyball to my athletes. I would find joy seeing my athletes release excitement when they would successfully perform the movement. As the semester progressed, I would find the…

interested in playing in the 2011 water polo season. I thought to myself about how everyone would always say “make the best out of your high school years”. “Why not?”. I had heard a lot about polo from inexperienced people. I heard it was a lot like volleyball. “Polo couldn't be that hard”. We had a while until school started and I had talked myself out of playing because 1.) I had no idea what the sport was, 2.) Swimming? I’ve never even been on a swim team, and 3.) I couldn't see me wearing…

I told him that I had never played volleyball before and did not even know the rules. He told me that it did not matter, I should try out anyway. I did as he said and got on the team, not as a starter which was a new experience for me. I began to love the sport instantly though. Everything I spoke about was volleyball, to the point where people were sick of me. After the season was over I joined a summer league with a rep team…

without being cut. They only have volleyball, track, cross-country, and basketball. In the next year in middle school, the sports get a little more competitive. In this grade, they add softball and football. Students are required to try out for sports now, and if they do not make the cut, they are placed in “instructional” which is kind of like a junior varsity for middle school. In middle school, the seasons are also messed up. Softball is in the fall and volleyball is in the spring. Also in…

The three things that stood out to me were that if people are still pushing you to do something better when you are doing it poorly then they haven’t given up on you; there are brick walls that will get in the way; and you can’t get to your dreams on your own. In the video Randy Pausch describes that when he was a child he wanted to play in the NFL. He did not make it to the NFL but he says that Experience is what you get when you didn’t get what you wanted. He signed up to play in a football…

The article “Economic Sociology of Triathlons” written by Galyn Burke-Brown talks about how some sports attracts a certain type of people. In the article Galyn explains how triathlons can be used to network, because of the people who compete in it. Triathlons are an individual sport mainly dominated by people who are determined and have a large income. As stated in the article “The sport attracts high income, driven, focused individuals who are able and willing to pay the price in time and money…

responsibility. In a musical, each person must memorize their lines, choreography, and harmonies inside out to put on a polished show. So I learned how to budget my time so I could practice weekly for opening night. Another after-school occupation of mine, volleyball, trains me to get along with others. Playing with girls disparate from me on a high school freshman team taught me how to see past differences. Both school and outside experiences have provided me with the skills needed to be…

allowed me to form stronger connections with teachers, in turn allowing myself to be taken more seriously by my elders. My exploration of who I could be continued as I joined more school activities and volunteered around the city. I continued to play volleyball, both in school and on a club team, and it forced me to become more assertive and work with others. As a result, it has impacted my life more than I ever thought possible; I’ve formed lifelong friendships, become more confident in my…

shaved ice station making ice, adding the flavors, and collecting money. I really liked being able to put a smile on a a little girl’s face by making her a rainbow snow cone. Overall I had a lot of fun and got to know some of the girls from the volleyball program better that I didn’t really know before. Community service isn’t something that can be forced upon a person, for it to matter and have an affect on them it must be done freely. Although the job can still be completed if you…
